Here's something I learned the hard way, and should add to the list....

If your diode-mounted driver starts to wiggle loose, don't resolder it and do the same thing..again and again.

You WILL shear off your diode pins!

Do yourself a favor, and stop. Apply a good epoxy, thermal ceramic, etc. to seat that driver steady, before you move on!!
